Re: Rosetta Stone

I have heard nothing but good things about it. I have used it a little, and it is very user friendly and appears to work well! I believe that there is a tutorial on the web site, but am not completely sure..

You sure it's not THIS method?

Re: Rosetta Stone

I'm a long time Rosetta Stone user, and I approve of the software. One thing, though, when you're starting out, it will seem like complete and utter nonsense. Just be patient, and work the modules.

Great way to learn a language, though you won't learn the underlying aspects of construction, if you'd like to be able to speak a more educated style of the language involved. Basically, you'll speak and understand like a child, in the target language, which is a good start.

BTW, Mandarin is one of the easiest languages to learn. Very few special cases to memorize; you just learn the words, and string them together. Currently, I'm doing Farsi.

I'm baaack! See my Hot Milk For Breakfast blog under Social Groups for more details

I've heard the same thing about Mandarin. Very easy to learn to speak, extremely difficult to learn to read or write.

I have a lot of Farsi speaking friends, I've never been able to pick anything up. Good luck with it.
